Is there a better approach than this?
select convert(varchar(20),cast ('19770110' as datetime),101)
Please try this Cache Object script command.
w $ZD($ZDATEH("YYYYMMDD",5))
Example:
w $ZD($ZDATEH("20170925",5)).
Output: 09/25/2017
This is beautiful!
Funny, I learnt a similar approach by the numbers many moons ago.

The correct way to do this is with TO_DATE:
select TO_DATE('19850720','YYYYMMDD')
That will convert the text in the first argument (a string) using the format in the second parameter into a date, which will be displayed using the current selectmode. Try this in the Management Portal.
